The Nonstochastic Multiarmed Bandit Problem
Abstract. In the multiarmed bandit problem, a gambler must decide which arm of K nonidentical slot machines to play in a sequence of trials so as to maximize his reward. This class...

Classifying scheduling policies with respect to unfairness in an M/GI/1
It is common to evaluate scheduling policies based on their mean response times. Another important, but sometimes opposing, performance metric is a scheduling policy’s fairness....
